Srinagar, Nov 04 : People’s Conference (PC) chairman and MLA Handwara, Sajad Lone on Monday asked the ruling National Conference (NC) to come clear over the resolution on Article 370 abrogation.
“We didn’t know that the resolution against Article 370 would be passed today, but we supported it. Article 370 is the soul of this assembly session,” Lone said while speaking to reporters here, as per the news agency.
He said the PC will always support the resolution against Article 370. “If passing a resolution by Waheed Parra was a political stunt then what was Omar Abdullah doing throughout the election campaigning,” he asked.
“When this resolution was moved, only four to five people raised their voices while all others were against it. It was 5 versus 85,” Lone said, adding that NC should come clear whether they are favoring it or against it.
The PC chief further said that there was mention of Article 370 in Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s address. “If the resolution was not moved today, let NC move it in the next coming days and we will always support it,” he said.
Pertinently, PDP MLA Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra moved a resolution against the abrogation of Article 370 on the first day of the Assembly session, which triggered heated arguments in the house—
